Micah (bxb) (Part two for Arlo)

What to do

(Landon)

“You're going to what?” Jacob asked as if it were the stupidest thing, I'd ever come up with. I've thought about it ever since I left my parents and sister, I knew that this was the right thing to do.

“I'm going to ask Micah to marry me,” I replied, making him scoff. He had his pups with him, and it was difficult to tell them apart every so often. Just now he had to show me who Mason, Jackson, and Greyson were. I had a shitty memory if you ask me.

“I think you're moving a bit fast there, buddy. Look at Arlo and me, for instance. We mated and had pups, but you don't see me asking him to marry me just yet because I know that he's still too young, and he isn't ready yet.” I felt myself getting angry, Jacob was making this about him and his love life. What about what I want?

“You are two different people, you don't know if he'll be ready,” I said, feeling irritated that he was questioning me. I thought that by coming here, he would support me, but I thought wrong.

“I know that, but I still feel like you're rushing into things rather quickly. I know that Micah hasn't fully forgiven you just yet. How do you know that he will say yes to marrying you?” I sighed, knowing that he was right. I had been messing up Micah's life from the moment that we met; I was trying to change for him, so I didn't want to ruin what we had.

“What do you suggest I do then?” I asked, trying to think of something to get Micah to be happy with me. Sometimes I could sense that he was pulling away from me and I didn't like that.

“Why don't you talk to him? Take him out on dates and stuff. Romance him a bit, he's always walking on eggshells around you. You would often flip out on little things like him talking to Logan or him taking off his shirt in front of others.” Jacob said as he tended to Greyson, I think, who was starting to move around a bit. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms.

“I've done that because no one should see him naked but me. Logan was getting far too clingy for my liking. I get that he's teaching Micah to be the perfect barber, but it seems as if sometimes he forgets that his mate is Chandra.” I often got jealous of little things, but that's just how werewolves are. There's no taming us when it comes to our mates.

“Look, just think of something to get Micah to want to be around you without throwing a tantrum. Goddess knows that I've done countless things to Arlo, and he forgave me, but he's still not able to trust me fully as yet. That day when we were having dinner back at the Red Forest Pack, and he was limping, I could have healed him, but I was blinded by jealousy to fully see what was going on.” Jacob sighed and placed Greyson back in his crib after he fell asleep once more.

“When Arlo and I mated, I didn't take his pain away, knowing that I could. I took Micah's pain away when he was hurting, and I couldn't do that for my damn mate.” I could tell that he was beating himself up because of that, we were such bad mates.

“The point is, we both did some things that weren't right, and we messed up big time. So please, think before you act on what you're about to do and if you're serious about marrying Micah, wait until he's ready. Don't just force it on him.” I guess he was right. But how would I know when the time was right?
